Back in the early 2020s, we started CNCG Kochi alongside AWS User Group Kochi with a clear intent — build a strong meetup culture and create a platform for learning and knowledge sharing.
KCD Kochi was always on our wishlist. But instead of rushing, we focused on the fundamentals — consistent in-person meetups, growing the community from scratch, and earning trust.
As the community grew, we made a commitment: bring Kubernetes Community Day to Kochi.
That’s when reality hit — it wasn’t easy.
For 3 consecutive years, we pushed to make KCD Kochi happen under the official CNCF umbrella. And finally, last weekend — we delivered.
